April 3, 1990

AGANA, GUAM — CHARGE DROPPED. Prosecutors Monday dropped charges against an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer accused of violating the nation's most restrictive abortion law by encouraging others to seek abortions. The charges against Janet Benshoof were dropped by territorial Attorney General Elizabeth Barrett-Anderson. Benshoof, director of the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, was arrested March 21, two days after the law was signed, on charges of solicitation to commit abortion. The law has not been enforced since a restraining order was issued March 23.
